Taking Nclex in Illinois WIHTOUT SS#??? Risk or Wait....

[TonySTN]

I am planning to take NCLEX-RN in IL... im wondering, i have expired visa... but i already graduated in one of the City colleges of chicago juz 2009 after taking HESI......

Heres my question... i know it must be already discussed but i want to make sure and not mess anything up... any answer / reply would be fully appreciated... I will be getting married next year 2010(legit) and finally fix my papers hopefully.

I called continental testing for taking exam without SS# this oct. 2009... even though my visa expired already,

they said they will give a temporary no. (not a temporary SS# like the person who posted this) just to sit for the exam and its up to me to update to the state or whatever.. it would not be in their hands anymore...

Im wondering if i should take the exam and be given a temp. no. but what im confused at is that, so they will provide a temp#, How am i going to update that SS# once i do get????

where do i call or update that.... i read some topic and someone mentioned about everything will be fine until renewal of license?... Will i get introuble if i take the NClex right now and wait til next year after i get married to get my SS#?.. and WILL i receive a "hardcopy" of the license and just renew it after i get my SS#?...

Also...... Is there also a timelimit to provide a valid SS# to state/licensure?

I read something about Il be investigated when i apply for Nclex, i guess through finger printing and background check?

Thank you so much for reading through this,.... its juz so frustrating when "ppl say this... ppl say that..." and i really want to take that NCLEX already... =(... help?:cry::cry::cry:
